I think so, entertaining themselves. Happens a lot.  That's why I only give nearest tube, no postcode or street. What info do you give them?

Usually it's 'something came up at work', or whatever, but yes a lot just plain cancell the second the phone's clicks off.
Also they might book a handful of girls as a safety net and only decide on their favourite once they've confirmed who's available.

I think they're clever and cancel so they don't get blacklisted when they genuinely need a service. Some punters know we share information.Before I wouldn't bother to log them but now I tag as waster and block, even the 'meeting's been rearranged' ones.That's popular too.
I text them back 'do not contact me' again so they know this bridge is burnt. One strike rule.

If there's a hotel close opposite or close by I'd say that one. I've done that as standard and it's fine. Generally I try to avoid telling them if it's a hotel or private flat. Just for my peace of mind.

Some punters don't like hotels but they won't tell you, so they waste your time going through the booking process to avoid the discussion. Some don't like private homes and do the same thing. I prefer not to reveal either way, if they get pushy and interrogate I put the phone down.
If you're thinking robber? Not much use without the room number Hope it goes well!

This used to happen to me quite a lot, just put me off jumping around for short notice bookings. If I wasn't about to start doing something else,  I'd ask them to phone back in ten minutes, if I was going to do something I would carry on and not drop it - I'd either offer a time afterwards or not offer a booking.

Totally agree. That’s the same issue with look and go wankers. Always short notice bookings without aw account. If I’m on the way to shop, go to have meal, gym or whatever Else I just carry on and offer them hour or two later. Genuine guys understands and will get back to you or try to see you another day. I won’t give them my address straight away.

I won’t tolerate address collectors and if someone calls me without introduction and goes straight: where you based crap I put phone down on them and block.

Those who immediately cancel after making the booking get no second chance with me. They don't have my full address at that stage anyway so no worries for me.

No way for sure of knowing their motives but as others said they could have booked more than one and cancelled the "unlucky one" but whatever their reasons I log them as timewasters and ignore any more calls or texts from those numbers.

This happens too often
Now I don't text postcode to see if they ask for it and guess what they don't call back
I had one fool actually cancel and admit" sorry to be a time waster "  I did put phone down in him after ..
I'd be rich as hell if every time waster did turn up as a genuine booking 

I think it’s safe to say there are many reasons punters do what they do but we will never truly know their motives. I so happened to be doing nothing and it takes me 10 mins to get ready. What I don’t understand is I told him roughly where before I said where I was to check it was doable for him and he agreed. Oh well his loss not mine because I won’t entertain him again. Thanks for your input everyone.  Another notch on my working girl learning board lol.

One punter who did something like this, then rebooked outcall under my deposit system a few years later told me just being unfamiliar with the area re directions, a bit of traffic combined with nerves caused him to turn around. Always appreciate honesty and a bit of insight plus his willingness to try again, however I'm running a business and I'm interested in those who will go ahead - who can commit.
